Springing from this web posting, families were presented with a kit to make their own Advent Prayer Box. We made adjustments to the prayers and to the illustrations but provided the box, the printouts, directions, and small decorative items (gift bows, ribbon, etc.).
Because families have been provided with Advent activities for the last several years, our goal was not to overwhelm them, but, instead, to provide a supplement to practices that may already be occurring in the home (Advent wreaths, Advent trees, etc.). Ideas for ways to use the prayers included on the prayer box were a part of the kit.
